We recognise that a brain injury can affect all aspects of life. That is why Lifeways’ Support Workers are trained to deal with these issuesand offer specialised support to help you re-build life skills and promote independence. Our Support Workers can help manage complex and challenging behaviour and promote and assist in the rehabilitation process.

Our goal is to promote your independence, help you move forward with your life and where possible, help you to live without support and perhaps go to college or work.

Returning to live in the community after spending time in hospital or other rehabilitation facilities can be a frightening time for you and your family. It is common to feel isolated and anxious about the future. We know that you may feel that you are not in control and this can affect your confidence. Our Support Workers understand how you may be feeling and will work with you to rebuild your confidence and the skills you need to lead a fulfilling life.

A brain injury doesn’t just affect an individual. Family and friends may struggle to cope with many of the changes which have taken place and how best to support their loved one. Our specialist support teams understand these changes and approach individuals and their families sensitively and effectively. They possess the knowledge, empathy and initiative to make a real difference.

Our services can provide as much support as an individual requires. This may be anything from 20 hours per week to 24 hours per day. Support is provided either within an individual’s own home or within a supported living environment, where individuals live together and share support.
